Barry County, Mo Deaths, 1883-1885 Surnames P-Z Transcribed from Missouri State Archives Microfilm C 546 by Shirley Soper Note: These records were extremely hard to read. The writing, in most cases, was almost illegible & the spelling very bad. In at least 2 instances, the person was buried before they died. The records back then were very sloppy, no guarantees are made as to spelling, etc. Date of Date of Death s/m How Long Cause of Duration of Date of Report Name Sex Color Age Occupation Mth Day Year AM/PM w/d Nationality Where Born Resident Place of Death Death Disease Place of Burial Burial Name of Undertaker Name & Address of Physician 11/20/1883 David M.
